I am tearful all the time and am very anxious about my baby’s wellbeing. Could I have Post Natal Depression?

Sister Alex answers:

It is possible. I would suggest you look at the Post Natal Depression group of South Africa, where you can complete an online questionnaire at: http://www.pndsa.org.za/. There national helpline is 0828820072. I would also suggest to find a healthcare professional or counsellor with experience in PND to give you support. Please remember, you are not alone
